SUCCESSES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!
Use Case | How UZIN UTZ uses the BIM system for itself!
UZIN UTZ links the existing PIM system with the BIM system. The joint implementation ensures the networking of the existing software landscape and the transfer of product information to the BIM Content Manager. The BIM Content Manager acts as a self-service portal for building material and component manufacturers to transfer product information to the BIM system and, if necessary, to bundle it with other information categories in order to provide planners with solutions that go far beyond the mere provision of BIM objects.
The initial situation of UZIN UTZ SE
UZIN UTZ has an existing PIM system in which the product information relevant for BIM implementation is available. Previously, it was only possible to prepare the product information on building materials in a scalable and efficient manner for planners with considerable effort. For this reason, UZIN UTZ has realigned its BIM strategy.
Objective
The goals of UZIN UTZ with the BIM system:
90% Reduced effort in the provision of BIM content.
70% less effort for planners to define system solutions.
100% Ensuring the fully automated synchronization of product changes or new products directly into the BIM plug-in.
Simple Placement of the product portfolio in the early construction phase.
Result
Successful use of the BIM system at UZIN UTZ SE
The UZIN BIM content provides detailed information about UZIN products, materials and systems that can be used in a variety of construction applications. Architects and planners can use these digital models to carry out precise preliminary planning, simulations and mass/quantity calculations, minimizing errors and increasing the overall efficiency of projects. Attention is always paid to the correct provision of product data in accordance with the requirements of BIM users to ensure user-centricity.
Up-to-the-minute communication with planners during the component determination process becomes a reality thanks to the possibilities offered by the waya UZIN UTZ platform to get in touch with the customer. In this way, UZIN UTZ can provide its customers with advice and support when building up layers.
The BIM system by BIMsystems has convinced UZIN UTZ! Information is always kept up to date and efficiently maintained in a central location. The information is made available smoothly via the interface in the intelligent BIM solution from BIMsystems for those involved in construction.
Another decisive criterion is the use of the evaluation options for own products or new services. The BIM platform waya is characterized by the integrity of the continuous flow of information, the flexibility and the integration of the information into digitalization strategies.
Architects, planners and construction professionals who want to use the UZIN BIM content can access the BIM system waya.bimsystems.de and download the desired BIM content free of charge and place it directly in their modeling tool using the plugin.

Solutions thanks to the BIM system
We at UZIN UTZ are very pleased to have found an excellent partner for BIM onboarding in BIMsystems, who not only provides technical advice, but also offers professional and strategic support. Thanks to our Contentserv PIM system, which was already well maintained and carefully looked after, we were able to connect our first brand UZIN within a very short time.
We are very pleased that UZIN UTZ, as a long-standing customer, can fully exploit the potential of Contentserv and the BIM platform waya. For UZIN UTZ, an innovative manufacturer of construction chemicals products, it is crucial to maintain product information in a central location and to provide it in a complete, multilingual and BIM-compliant manner.
With the direct connection of both systems, we can now automatically pass on our product data to our partners in a consistent and brand-specific manner and make it directly available in the correct format. For us, offering innovative products also means expanding internal processes to make them fit for the future and using synergies between new and existing systems. The provision of information-rich product systems in the form of standardized and intelligent data bundles is the decisive factor here for everyone involved in the data value chain.
Recommendations
Lessons learned in working with BIM and the BIM system
We have learned to correctly estimate the planning effort for a BIM solution. The more you think about the right data model for your product portfolio and your own data pool at the start, the easier and quicker it will be to enrich the product data records with BIM-relevant information. What particularly helped us was that BIMsystems took us by the hand right from the start with regard to the relevant BIM attributes.
